  • Soziologien des Lebens

    Open AccessHeike Delitz, Suhrkamp Ebke et al.BOOKSoziologien des Lebens2018

    Die verschiedenen Soziologien des Lebens fassen das Leben nicht nur als Objekt, das gesellschaftlich erkannt, normiert und gesteigert wird. Sie verstehen es immer auch als Subjekt seines Wissens, seiner Normen und seines Wandels. Das Leben wird nicht vereinseitigt, sondern seine Verschränkungen werden analysiert: die Immanenz von Natur und Kultur, die Gleichzeitigkeit von Aktivität und Passivität, die Ko-Konstitution von Affekt und Kognition, die…

  • Origin of the Gang Name “Crips”1

    Open AccessWilson Gray, Gerald CohenARTICLENames2007

    The “Crips” derive their name from “cripples,“ which in turn derives from the “pimp canes” they carried as their badge and as a weapon with which to cripple anyone who messed with them. The original motivation was self-defense, but that, of course, changed with time

    The expression “The Big Apple,” meaning “something special, out of the ordinary, world class” is traced from its adoption as the nickname of New York City in 1971 back through time, to the jazz culture of the 1930s and ultimately to its apparent origins in racing jargon in the early decades of the 20th century

  • Naming of Fairdealing, Missouri

    Open AccessGerald Cohen, Gerald Leonard CohenARTICLENames1993

    Missouri is probably the premier storehouse of interesting place names, surpassing even such repositories of placename oddities as California, Texas, and Arkansas. As a sample, Missouri has (or once had) Barely Do, Devil's Elbow, Enough, HenPeck Creek, Jerktail, Loose Creek, Old Dishrag (school and community), Peculiar, Rocky Comfort, Tightwad, Useful, Veto, Whoopup, and also Fairdealing

  • Weaubleau from French Bois Blanc ‘White Woods’

    Open AccessGerald Cohen, Gerald Leonard CohenARTICLENames1991References: 1

    Full credit for solving the origin of Weaubleau (Creek) goes to Walter Schroeder, who noticed an 1841 document specifying that Weaubleau derives from French Bois Blanc ‘ white woods.’ Several changes occurred to disguise this bois blanc origin, and the result was a placename that virtually defied a proper analysis. Include me among those who stumbled in an early attempt to determine the name's derivation
